Profile:
A combative all-round cricketer Kalpage has been a handy
performer in the shorter format of the game where his allround
skill makes him a valuable utility player. In the Test arena his
appearances have been far more infrequent as he has struggled to
find a defining role in the team, not being strong enough to
warrant a position as either a batsman or bowler.
A left handed batsman capable of playing some forceful knocks in
the lower order, at domestic level he can be regarded as a
genuine batsman. His canny offspin provides a useful option for
the captain, with the ability to maintain a tidy line and length,
though at international level his bowling lacks penetration.
Kalpage compliments his tidy allround skills by being a solid
performer in the field.
At Test level his bowling has not been an effective weapon
failing to take more than two wickets in an innings in 11 tests.
With the bat he played some belligerent innings but is considered
a lower order batsman. For these reasons it seems he will remain
on the fringes of the international arena, and in recent years
his opportunities have been limited by the emergence of Upal
Chandana
